Waverider, please stop putting that HUGE image in your sig, it is WAY over the limit size.

If you want to resize it to a BG2 portrait size, that's fine...

Actually, Aerie's only weakness is her low hitpoints, she can replace Anomen as Cleric and Edwin as mage, thereby freeing up space for another party member, and if you give her the Mace of Disruption, the Shield of Reflection and the Robe of the Good Archmagi, she's able to defend herself, I agree that her whining is irritating, but just play as a female character then you will be free of a lot of it since much of it is romance whining, her intelligence dosen't stop her advancement since it's not so fast that she will get any high level spells soon, and by the way, Aerie does NOT look like a ten-year old and who chooses their NPCs depending on how sexy they are anyway? If I wanted to do that I'd choose Viconia instead, definitely no Jaheira, those huge eyes freak me out a bit.

first, she can NOT replace either anomen or edwin simply because she is multiclassed. when ano or ed would be at 16th level and scaring liches and casting maze, she'd barely be scratching 12th level and still barely frightening wights.

i would never waste a great weapon like the mace of disruption on someone with no STR bonus, no specialization, and (again) really slow THAC0 advancement. if you counter by saying give her a strength belt, ill just sigh in resignation and give you a flower, hippy .

all the other stuff is cosmetic and unimportant, and youre right, she doesnt look like a 10 year old. she looks at least 12, maybe even 13 with the right robe.

*sigh* If only there was a clan, then the HADB would not be alone in slaughtering Aeries worshippers

To the flag of HADB

To be a loyal and all conquering person
I promise to tread
Over the broken ruins
Of my enemies homes
Slaughtering their armies
Enslaving their people
And all in all
Get stoned and have a jolly good time

To complain about Aerie's low hit points is not valid. There are ways to boost her life to the point where she will have more life than either Imoen, Edwin or Viconia.

Helm of Balduran.
Sensate Amulet.
Girdle of Fortitude.

Also, because of her multi-class nature, she can store Clerical spells as well in her Sequencers, Triggers, Contingencies. Mmmmm... 3 Flame Strikes in a Spell Trigger... *drool* ... ... Oh, that will be in ToB of course.

True, she will never attain the max in either class, but that is a small price to pay to more than double the amount of spells she can have in either class. As a background caster, she is extremely versatile and lethal.

Frankly, I find Jaheira whining to be irritating than Aerie's, but that is my opinion, maybe you have different tastes, so be it. To each his/her own.

Also, Aerie's 'whining' eventually stops if you go with the flow, Jaheira however... consistently prods you and questions your ability to control your Bhaal taint... ...

HELL! Jaheira is still in a state of denial when it is time for you to choose Godhood or Mortality... ...

Viconia is gorgeous! jahiera is gorgeous! They are both extrmeely usefull.
Hey, I am entirely with you Offender! Count me in whenever needed.
Keep Aerie away from Jaheira or you will see!

To keep bringing up how good Aerie could be with the right equipment is a pretty invalid point in this discussion as well. Heck, you could buff up nearly every character in the game to a point they completely rock...
And the girdle of constitution? Does it even exist?
Don't you mean the girdle of fortitude, which doesn't work all the time?

Doh!

*slaps forehead*

Yeah, it's the Girdle of Fortitude, my bad, sorry.

Oh, and discussing equipment is relevant, because come on... it's how the NPCs become powerful.

And you for that matter.

People who diss Aerie just because of her Hp are not playing her to her full potential. And besides, the girdle boosts CON to 18 for eight hours... ...

I just noticed that eveyone saying Aeries hit points suck but instead suggest taking Edwin, the mage. Is it just me or do mages hit points suck a lot more then Aerie?
and Anomen I find works well in melee but during the heat of batttle stopping to disout healing is just not practical, he get hit more often then he completes the spell and the person he tring to heal dies.
